ABOUT DBT

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, is a treatment designed to help emotionally sensitive individuals to develop skills to cope with life’s stresses. Member of our classes come from a variety of back-grounds and struggle with different kinds of problems, including depression, anxiety, eating disorder, obsessional thinking, relationship difficulties, self harm, and poor anger management.

The Class Covers Four Main Topics

INTERPERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS training focuses on learning how to get what one wants and needs in an interpersonal situation without sacrificing the relationship or one’s self respect. This module is particularly helpful for people who have trouble maintaining relationships.

EMOTION REGULATION focuses on enhancing control of emotions. These skills can be useful to people with emotional ups and downs, intense emotional reactions, and chronic depression or anger problems.
